Several bodies are supposed to be in it. The two llier cars lie head down in tne river, (Sting on tbe bridge. The passengerB climbed up out of these. Tho baggage car, with conductor Elmer and three others, broke in two in the fall and all en-caned.George O. Hatch, one of the engineers, died this morning. Several of the dead show cuts and bruises, hut tbe most of them were drowned or v,ere suttocated oy the steam caused by the heaters in the cars. Tbe Railroad Commissioners examined tbe bridge two months ago and pro nonnced it safe. They will hold an in veetigation at once. I be latest advices uom tne tcenc oi tne railroad diflaater last night, and from the places wero the wounded wero taken, place the number of dead at thirteen. It is impossible more may be found in the wreck. T. M. Elmer, conductor, thus describes the accident; "1 had been in the mail compartment in the baggage c-tr, where I left Mr. Jones, superintendent, assorting tickets. I had Btarted through tbe Irain and had got just by tbe front door of the baggage car, and was about to open it, when I felt the rear end settling, and heaid a loud crash. My band wbb al most on the door knob. Close by in the corner of the car to my right, was a sieve, in which there was a very hot fire. My brst thought was to get away irom the fire, eo an not to be burned. The rear end of the car went down a little and settled, and then tbe whole car dropped down with but very little pitching on one side and struck. I had jump- ed back from the door and was a few seats back, close to the window, when the car brought up. Just as it struck, a heavy beam fell down on the root and came inrougn, am King me on the head, knocking me down and cut ting me in the temple. I was stunned by tho blow, but soon saw what the situa tion was. There were three other men in the car, all passengers, whom I did not know. It was very dark in tne oar, so that I could see nothing, excepting a treak of lightwhich came through a hole in the roof made by the beam and large enough for a man to crawl through. Other men saw the opening, and we tried to get out, hut found we could not reach the roof. Meanwhile water was coming into the car through the floor and windows, and was rapidly rising. It got up to a point above our waists and stopped, when we knew the car had struck bottom and then we felt safe. There was no expressions of alarm by either of us. We waited for a time without making an effort to get out through the hole, but when everything had come to a stand still, we went to work to refctie ourselves, which was accomplished by lifting one man up to tue root, and alter be got through lie as aisted another, and then tbe others were helped out. After getting out we went to the car nenind the back of the one which was lying corner ways, out of which the passengers were crawling through the windowB. ibe car had pitohed down and it appeared as if more of the passengers must be jammed on the lower end. The cries were heartrending of men and women, many of whom appeared to be suffering from extreme pain, Some ner of Caanan, and Mr. Mc Whiting, of "'""V B, B. V " WiLed, are missing.

On inquiry it is learned that Mrs. niton is still ill. She was first taken with pneumonia, but na the violence of the attack passed ofi', it left her in a very delicate and declining position, that greatly alarms her friends. It is said by those who have Been her frequently, that ever since the trial, she has endeavored to cul tivate a hopeful spirit, notwithstanding her domestic alilictions, and has borne her trials with remarkable fortitude, and in earnest Christian fuilh. A star reporter called upon a lady friend of Mrs. Tilton yesterday, ana was tola that ner condition now was extremely delicate and the cause of serious apprehension, When asked if Mrs. Tilton ever referred to the matter of a family reunion, the lady said.

Several bodies are supposed to be in it. The two llier cars lie head down in tne river, (Sting on tbe bridge. The passengerB climbed up out of these. Tho baggage car, with conductor Elmer and three others, broke in two in the fall and all en-caned.George O. Hatch, one of the engineers, died this morning. Several of the dead show cuts and bruises, hut tbe most of them were drowned or v,ere suttocated oy the steam caused by the heaters in the cars. Tbe Railroad Commissioners examined tbe bridge two months ago and pro nonnced it safe. They will hold an in veetigation at once. I be latest advices uom tne tcenc oi tne railroad diflaater last night, and from the places wero the wounded wero taken, place the number of dead at thirteen. It is impossible more may be found in the wreck. T. M. Elmer, conductor, thus describes the accident; "1 had been in the mail compartment in the baggage c-tr, where I left Mr. Jones, superintendent, assorting tickets. I had Btarted through tbe Irain and had got just by tbe front door of the baggage car, and was about to open it, when I felt the rear end settling, and heaid a loud crash. My band wbb al most on the door knob. Close by in the corner of the car to my right, was a sieve, in which there was a very hot fire. My brst thought was to get away irom the fire, eo an not to be burned. The rear end of the car went down a little and settled, and then tbe whole car dropped down with but very little pitching on one side and struck. I had jump- ed back from the door and was a few seats back, close to the window, when the car brought up. Just as it struck, a heavy beam fell down on the root and came inrougn, am King me on the head, knocking me down and cut ting me in the temple. I was stunned by tho blow, but soon saw what the situa tion was. There were three other men in the car, all passengers, whom I did not know. It was very dark in tne oar, so that I could see nothing, excepting a treak of lightwhich came through a hole in the roof made by the beam and large enough for a man to crawl through. Other men saw the opening, and we tried to get out, hut found we could not reach the roof. Meanwhile water was coming into the car through the floor and windows, and was rapidly rising. It got up to a point above our waists and stopped, when we knew the car had struck bottom and then we felt safe. There was no expressions of alarm by either of us. We waited for a time without making an effort to get out through the hole, but when everything had come to a stand still, we went to work to refctie ourselves, which was accomplished by lifting one man up to tue root, and alter be got through lie as aisted another, and then tbe others were helped out. After getting out we went to the car nenind the back of the one which was lying corner ways, out of which the passengers were crawling through the windowB. ibe car had pitohed down and it appeared as if more of the passengers must be jammed on the lower end. The cries were heartrending of men and women, many of whom appeared to be suffering from extreme pain, Some ner of Caanan, and Mr. Mc Whiting, of "'""V B, B. V " WiLed, are missing.

A few weeks ago Mrs. Tilton was re ported to be in very bad health, and in consequence, obliged to give up her music room on Henry street, and her pupils. On inquiry it is learned that Mrs. niton is still ill. She was first taken with pneumonia, but na the violence of the attack passed ofi', it left her in a very delicate and declining position, that greatly alarms her friends. It is said by those who have Been her frequently, that ever since the trial, she has endeavored to cul tivate a hopeful spirit, notwithstanding her domestic alilictions, and has borne her trials with remarkable fortitude, and in earnest Christian fuilh. A star reporter called upon a lady friend of Mrs. Tilton yesterday, ana was tola that ner condition now was extremely delicate and the cause of serious apprehension, When asked if Mrs. Tilton ever referred to the matter of a family reunion, the lady said. "No, not to my knowledge, Now and then abe speaks ol tbe pleasure it wouia be to see her children, the same as any mother would speak of a divided home circle" Mrs, Tilton is quite the oppo site to the "happy, vain, Involotu wo, man" she has been represented to be on various occasions, it is quite evident also that there is a secret, in connection wilh the great scandal, which Mrs. Tilton will never reveal.

That subterranean evolver of noxious gaseB and excessive heat, which leaves people cold because it is so nearly impossible to distribute it properly, is tho real author of the myriad headaches, neuralgias and bronchitises, and of at least half the other diseases that are attributed to our changeful climate, our bad sewer age and drainage and our water poisoned with miasm.
